x+y=3
x-y=1
Substitution


Sagot :

x + y = 3    ------equation 1
x - y = 1     -----equation 2
------------------
From equation 2
x - y = 1
Transpose -y to the right side of the equation
x = y + 1     -----equation 2'
----------------
Substitute equation 2' to equation 1
x + y = 3
(y+1) + y = 3
y + 1 + y = 3 
transpose 1 to the right side
y + y = 3 - 1
2y = 2
y = 1
---------------
Substitute y=1 to equation 2'
x = y + 1
x = 1 + 1 
x = 2

x+y=3
x-y=1

x-y=1
x=y+1

x+y=3
y+1+y=3
2y+1=3
2y=2
y=1

x=y+1
x=1+1
x=2

Hope this helps =)
